Thread: Jaipur on January 26th; will anything be open?

Hello, We will be arriving in Jaipur on January 26th (Republic Day). We were last in Jaipur on the same day 25 years ago and have memories of the tourist sites being closed because of the public holiday. Is this still the case? We only have 2 days here and don't want to waste time sitting around in the hotel! Does anyone know if Amber Fort is open on this day?

Hi my friend and I have the same issue. We are going to be flying from Delhi to Jaipur on Christmas Day but if everything is going to be shut it seems a waste. Our hotel has said they can arrange us a driver to take us to see the Taj Mahal on the 26th for the day. Initially we wanted to go there on 25th Dec but it is closed on friday so instead opted to fly into jaipur that day.

I also hope to visit the Taj Mahal on Jan 26th, and am wondering about Fatephur Sikri, whether it will be open on this day?
